The roller has been repaired and park staff will begin rolling the surface rock on Thursday morning. Please watch for maintenance staff and equipment. They may not see or hear you depending on the equipment they're operating.
Here's an update on the status of the City's trails:
MKT Trail: All holes have been filled, including the one pictured above near bridge #13. All trail areas, including the Forum Nature Trail have been resurfaced with rock. Park staff will begin rolling the trail Thursday, 9/25/08. Area of concern with loose gravel is between Forum Blvd access and the Twin Lakes Recreation Area.
Hinkson Creek Trail: Same as MKT. Trail has been resurfaced and staff will begin rolling it on Friday, 9/26/08.
Bear Creek Trail--Garth to Creasy: Park staff can not get to the trail located between the Garth Nature Area and the boardwalk near Creasy Springs Road. The bridges were not designed to handle our trucks so we have to cross the creek. In doing so, we found that it is still too soft and got stuck. If you read this by 2:45 pm today, you can still probably find our truck still there! Unfortunately, this section of the trail has some severe wash-out areas and users should take note.
For other areas of the Bear Creek Trail: All three-inch rock has been placed and compacted. Staff is adding the sub-surface 1-inch rollstone and should have that completed by the end of the day today. Plan is to have all of the final surface rock 3/8-inch trail mix, placed by the end of the day on Friday. We will start rolling this trail on Monday, 9/29/08. This trail should not be as loose as the MKT due to compaction of the vehicles.
